Update on my Camaro.....Finally after almost 3 weeks at the dealership it's done- it has a new TC. It's going to be tough as I have to pick up the car and immediately turn it over to the dealer I traded it into. I had a perfect storm occur and made a very hasty decision to trade in the car. The weekend before it went to the dealership I was so upset I shopped around for a new car- to potentially trade it in and also my C4 Corvette- that I have not been able to sell for 6 months- which is stored at my house, which is for sale. I had my Camaro and the C4 appraised at the local Ford dealership. 2 days right after this my Camaro goes in, my C4 completely dies and my house supposedly sells- a cash buyer and wants to close in 3 weeks. I panic- need to get rid of the C4, no where to store or park it with my house selling, so the Ford dealer contacts me to do a deal on a Mustang GT. They offer me 4K cash for the C4 and 25K for the Camaro. I do the deal- I tell them about the Camaro in the shop and the C4. They come get the C4, take it anyway and have been hounding me for the Camaro- which has been in the shop for the new TC. I have the GT, can't say I love it, wish I had a crystal ball and knew my house was not going to sell and I did not have to rush my decision. I did test drive 3 other Camaros with M/T during my shopping spree, they did not drive or track well- something was wrong with them. I also drove a used C7 Corvette- that the dealer told me had differential problems- but they were supposedly fixed. So I preferred to not buy GM again. The GT drove the best of all of the cars. But if I could have my Camaro back- it drove better than any of the cars I test drove and feels so much lighter and handles better than the GT. And I got 30 MPG in the Camaro- the GT- same commute gets 15! Oh well, that's the way it goes. I don't think I am going to have the GT very long- I can sell it to CarMax. After losing 10K on the Camaro and probably 10K on the GT maybe it's time for a cookie cutter car- a boring Corolla, LOL.
